Failing Schools will be turned into Academies

The government has announced that up to 1,000 schools in England, including all those rated as inadequate by Ofsted (currently 235 schools), will be turned into academies over the next five years. The government will use The Education and Adoption Bill to ‘remove bureaucratic and legal loopholes’ that slow up the process of turning failing schools into academies.
